There should always be visible links/buttons to the album and artist that is currently playing. If you navigate away, for example to search for something, there is an awful lot of taps to get back. Yes, you can get to the currently played song, but if you want to back out of that song and look at the track list for the album you are returned to the search view (or whereever you were). And, yes, you can click the artist/album name to view the album, but that is very unintuitive. Most navigation in iOS is built on a hierarchy with "back" meaning back to the parent view as opposed to the "previous" view). And, yes, you can click the artist/album name to get to the album, then swipe left and then click the artist name/image to get to the artist, but then it's almost quicker to search for the artist. Therefore, please create now playing Artist and Album links in the upper (or lower) corners, or somewhere, that are always visible regardless of where in the UI you happen to be. This would also be a nice move towards a more album oriented/artistic mindset, instead of chopped up playlists with no context that is pre-dominant.

The feedback mechanism for adding a song into the queue is showing a box with the message 'queued' which appears briefly, which is annoying when you are planning on adding multiple songs in the queue, which is generally the case. When adding songs to the queue using the right swipe mechanism, there is no delay and the only concern is with the feedback box. When adding songs via the 'three-dots', which opens the bottom sheet, there is a noticeable delay between clicking the 'add to queue' button and going back to the songs list. This delay prevents multiple songs being added to the queue rapidly. I know it makes more sense to add songs using the swipe, but the feedback covers the middle of the screen, forcing the user to wait for it to disappear to start adding more songs. Please implement a better feedback mechanism which is unobtrusive. “Feedback has to be planned. All actions need to be confirmed, but in a manner that is unobtrusive.” Excerpt From: Don Norman. “The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition.” Apple Books.

Basically when a song has more than one artist, all of them should be displayed separated by a comma on the device lock screen. But on the lock screen, only 1 artist's name if displayed i.e. the first one in the track. This happens even when the phone is connected to Car audio via Bluetooth. Only one artist is displayed on the Car display too.
I'm attaching the screenshots from both within the app and lock screen.
All the other streaming apps like Gaana, Wynk and JioSaavn display multiple artists on lock screen and Car screen, separating the artist names with a comma. This is a very important feature, as we can't be inside the app all the time to know the Artists featured in a track. Please consider implementing it. Thank You.

Instead of having a song cover appear in a square, I think it'd be cool instead to change this to a rotating disk (similar to a phonograph :) animation. Below is an image of what I'm thinking:

I organize my playlists by Artist. Sometimes I have multiple albums of the same artist. It'd be nice to have the songs organized by album within the artists selection in a playlist in Spotify mobile for iOS.

I used to be a DJ and would play 3 or 4 songs by the same artist or even in the same genre, before switching to another genre or artist. Would love to automate this. 1. Say I have 500 songs on a playlist from all sorts of artists and genres. It would be nice to hit a button/setting to have 3 or 4 songs play by the same artist/genre and then automatically shuffle to another 3, then another 3. When you have 500 songs on a playlist and hit shuffle, it doesn’t flow when it goes from 1 country song to 1 rock song, to 1 dance song, and back to a country song.

I find it very hard to distinguish the scroll bar and the dark background on the Spotify app. It will be a lot more visible and in my opinion even cooler if the scroll bar became white, just like the listed songs.

I think it’d be a great idea to be able to adjust the amount of liked songs that appear in our daily mix. Ive noticed recently more have been appearing in my mixes and it kinda “saturates” them to make them less enjoyable due to their frequency of appearing. I think an option to edit daily mixes so they can have fewer or more liked songs per playlist would be ideal for those who want to find new songs/stick to what’s comfortable

I have an Yamaha AVR with Spotify. At the moment, it is not possible to select the AVR on my iPad before I start the playback. The linux and android version having a nice device selector and shows me the AVR as soon as it is available.

I find it extremely annoying that Spotify will automatically resume the current/last song whenever I open the app. It is especially annoying when I pause the current track from the lock screen on iOS but then if Spotify is currently open behind the lockscreen, it will then automically start playing again, even though I just paused it on the lockscreen. Sure, some people might enjoy the "auto-resume" feature, but I never recall seing this behavior in the past and prefer it that way. So, please include an option to disable this. Thank you!! Greg

I am a huge fan of sharing music with friends with Spotify! Something I'd love to see to make sharing even more accessible and efficient would be to swipe a song title to the left and be offered the option to either save that song or copy its link. In the same way that if you swipe left on one of your messages in iMessage it will give you two panels, I'd love to see this same feature implemented on Spotify so I don't have to click the button on the side and then scroll down to find the 'Share' option.

In France, we do not have a Soundtrack section. Do you intend to put it one day? I believe that only Spotify does not have this section. I may be able to stop my subscription if this section does not appear soon as in Canada or other countries. Besides, even in the news I never see Soundtrack. It is painful.

Every time I search a song (eg. Beat It) and I select the song I want (eg. Fall Out Boy version) it just keeps playing the next song titled “Beat It”, so I end up listening to the same song over and over. After playing that song it should go to a different similar song the way it does if you select the song from “Top Results”. I can’t believe this isn’t already implemented.

For example, I search a large playlist by the name of the band. Once I play one song from the playlist by the filtered band, the behavior I expect is that the app plays the next song by the same band, in the order they’re listed on the screen.

In the most recent update you moved the Queue button so that you have to hit a menu to get to it. It's incredibly inconvenient, please put it back or at least put it in a place that can be reached from the now playing sceen with a single click. (Also, I can't be sure but it seems like you moved a few other buttons for no reason? My finger goes to click one automatically, out of habit, and it does not do what I expect it to. Granted, I could just be tired. But I'd like to bring up that unless there is a very good, very necessary reason, you shouldn't swap the buttons around. It's confusing and frustrating.)

I think a good idea for Spotify which will elevate the apps look and interactivity with followers/following would be to bring in Stories as seen on Instgram and snapchat. The way this would work is on the desktop app to have a circle round the persons name that’s but it on and when you click on it it shows there song of the day ehcih is selected by the user. There would be a way in the Spotify app to view this aswell. At the home screen before it comes up with playlist suggestions there would be a bar showing your following and when you click on there name it comes up with;what they’re currently listening to and also there song of the day if selected. This would make the following and followers useful on the app and also make it so people can show people these songs ehcih they will go on to enjoy. Makes the app Loren interactive and gives you more value for the time on the app. Let me know any suggestions and if you like the idea, thank you

If you skip 10 songs instead of 6 then you can choose a good one. If you don’t want premium but you want to skip 10 songs it will be great. If you go on to Spotify and like my playlists called Funky Music #like or you can like my other one called Funky. If you do I will vote on your idea
